Aisha Jamal

The Filmmaker & Second Child

A Kandahar Away is Aisha’s first feature documentary. As a filmmaker, she’s made several short documentaries, tackling many different subject matters, including a film about her parents award-winning garden in Scarborough, Ontario called “Seeds of the Past.” Her passion for film bleeds into her personal life and she likes to attend as many of the 200 festivals Toronto hosts as she can. She likes storytelling in all forms and is also an avid reader. Aisha loves to host friends, cook meals whenever possible and go for runs.
